I wish it was on another night. My venue in Elgin plays on Thursday nights as well.

Is the Judge in Elgin Adam? if so he knows us very well, he use to play with us in Oswego. Ask him if he would be willing to switch nights and maybe we can have two huge turn outs at two different venues each week. Most of us at Graham Cracker are looking for other nights to play.

"rowdyoctopus" sweet........... were else in the World can you talk to a rowdyoctopus??

This week (10/21) at the Cracker's of Grahams, we are playing a 600 point constructed game. Pure and simple. No frills, bells, nor whistles*. Bring what you got and see if you can topple the best players at the best venue around!

(*) No collossal figures allowed

Just want to give everybody an update on what upcoming games at Graham Crackers will be.

(October 28th)- 1000 points constructed

(November 4th)- DESTROY ALL MONSTERS!!! Yeah, it's a little bit AFTER halloween, but it's time for our annual game against the big beasts. The Judge has adapted the rules slightly to allow play of Mage Knight's Apocalypse Dragon, Horrorclix's Cthulu, and of course, Fin Fang Foom. Everybody will be playing against AT LEAST these three beasts at the same time. Point value of teams TBD.

(November 11th)- Heroclix Chess. 750 points. Rules are as follows:

1-8 pieces that are either generics/have a minion power
1-2 Rooks- Have to have a damage reducer and a 0 range
1-2 Knights- Must have a move and attack power
1-2 Bishops- Must have a range of 8 or greater
1 King- Male figure who has leadership or mastermind
1 Queen- Female figure 75 points or more

lets try and make a couple of teams before the 11th and see what we come up with

Can't wait for tomorrow

Chess game doesn't need to be more than 750. You can have anywhere between 6-16 characters. Just so long as you have a representative of each piece. You just can't have any more of each figure than would normally be on a chess board.

My only issue with this format is a nitpick. As everyone knows, in chess, the queen is the most powerful piece by far. I think it should be 100pts or more. Like I said, it was a nit. Otherwise, great scenario.

I agree with your assesment, however, our Judge was going to originally say that you didn't even need a FEMALE figure to be the queen! I had to intervene. A lot of us are trying to play teams that are "Full Board" at 16 characters, so 75 points or greater is actually going to be one of the higher point figures on the board. On top of that, there weren't TOO MANY female figures that are powerful and over 100 points. We would see far too many Skrull-Vels.

Question on the monster's format. Are our teams supposed to be comprised of all monsters or are we only just going up against the 3+ monsters?

Real question is if we can just skip forward to Nov. 11th and play chess. I'm really looking forward to this one.
